Achtuning’s Project CC gets some new wheels

Our good friends over at Achtuning and Hartmann Wheels are having a fun summer. They have added several new project cars to their fleet including an R8, a B8 A4 avant and this beautiful VW CC. Freshly dropped on some brand-new Hartmann HROC-233 Wheels the Achtuning project CC looks amazing. They recently dropped the CC using a set of new Koni SS coilovers and we absolutely love the ride height. Keep up the good work guys, and we look forward to more Project CC updates! Also we’d like to wish the owner of this car, Achtuning’s Dion Spina, a very happy birthday!

Five Nordschleife legends to race in Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup

Five big names that have made motorsport history on the Nürburgring will compete in the two races of the Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup on the Eifel circuit on 07 and 08 August.

Sabine Schmitz (Germany), Uwe Alzen (Germany), Altfrid Heger (Germany), Olaf Manthey (Germany) and Hans-Joachim Stuck (Austria) have clinched a total of eleven victories in the 24-hour race on the Nordschleife between them. Now the legends of the “Green Hell” are tackling the challenge of competing with the 20 regular drivers of the innovative one-make cup, in which the identical vehicles are powered by bio natural gas and thus achieve an 80-per cent reduction of CO2, on the short version of the Nürburgring.
